Promoted by York Motor Club
1903 - 2019
Introduction
This year is the eleventh running of the North Yorkshire Classic Rally, brought to you by an experienced team of regular competitors
from York Motor Club, and offers a further evolution of previous events.
This year sees a continuation of the two day format with a return to our test venues South of York and some classic road rally routes
in North Yorkshire Moors on Saturday night. We are also inviting Targa cars to enter our event this year for the first time.
Once again based at the excellent start/finish venue, The Hawkhills, near Easingwold, North of York (100 / 536676).
We intend to offer over 100 miles of regularities and about 16 tests on maps, 100 & 105, for an entry fee of £155 which includes
afternoon tea, morning coffee and Sunday lunch for both crew members.
Our aim is to offer you all a warm welcome, great value for money, fair and manageable navigation with hardly any whites and a
great fun weekend of motorsport with a little twist. You may be well advised to have spotlights fitted to your car.
We are a round of the 2020 HRCR Hagerty Insurance Clubmans Road Rally Championship.

requirements on the Road Sections of the event. All new applicants wishing to use the scheme must be able to comply with all
points of the REIS Declaration. The basic rate for the event before any loadings will be £25.
Vehicles must have Insurance in place which provides Third Party Liability cover that complies with the Road Traffic Act. This can be
either, by extending an existing motor policy to cover the event, or, by purchasing additional cover as an adjunct to an existing
motor policy.
If a competitor uses an extension to an existing policy, they will be required to sign a declaration that the cover complies with the
requirements of the Road Traffic Act. Any responsibility for a fraudulent or misleading declaration about existing cover lies with the
competitor.

with the following.

Has held a full licence for a minimum of 6 months
Has no more than 6 points on their licence
Has had no more than 1 fault claim in the last 3 years
The vehicle has valid Tax, MOT and is currently insured for road use

family or over 25.
Any competitor who falls outside these parameters may be offered cover at equivalent terms or an agreed price, if approval from
Reis Motorsport Insurance has been obtained by the event organisers, prior to the event.
Additional cover provided by this scheme is only effective whilst the vehicle is actively competing in the event, and remains under
the control or direction of the event organiser(s). Cover will cease immediately if you are precluded, excluded or retire from the
event.
